Wig Size Guide
Finding the perfect fit for your wig is essential for comfort and confidence. Follow these steps to determine your wig size accurately:
1. Measure Your Head Circumference:
- Using a soft measuring tape, measure the circumference of your head starting from your hairline at the forehead, around the back of your head, and back to the front hairline. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight.
2. Measure Your Forehead to Nape Length:
- Measure from the center of your hairline at the forehead, down the back of your head, to the nape of your neck where your hairline ends. This measurement will help ensure the wig fits your head shape properly.
3. Determine Your Wig Cap Size:
-
Use the measurements you obtained to determine your wig cap size. Refer to the following size chart to find your corresponding wig cap size:
-
Extra Small (XS):
- Head Circumference: Up to 20.5 inches (52 cm)
- Forehead to Nape Length: Up to 13.5 inches (34 cm)
-

- Head Circumference: 21-21.5 inches (53-55 cm)

4. Consider Wig Cap Construction:
- In addition to size, consider the cap construction of the wig when selecting the perfect fit. Common cap constructions include:
- Traditional Cap: Fits snugly around the head and provides natural movement.
- Lace Front Cap: Features a sheer lace front that mimics a natural hairline for a realistic look.
- Monofilament Cap: Offers the most natural appearance with individually hand-tied hairs on a soft mesh cap.
5. Try It On:
- If possible, try on different wig sizes and styles to see which one feels most comfortable and fits your head shape best. Keep in mind that some wig styles may fit differently even if they are the same size.
Finding the right wig size may require some trial and error, but with these measurements and considerations, you can confidently find the perfect fit for your needs.
